Physician Offers Presentation on Arthritis Update: “Low Back Pain in Adults: Diagnosis and Indications for Treatment”

Orthopedic Surgeon, Kirill Ilalov, M.D. is the featured speaker for an upcoming lecture on “Low Back Pain in Adults: Diagnosis and Indications for Treatment”.

Back pain is the second most common symptom-related reason for physician visits in the United States. Up to 84 percent of adults have low back pain at some time in their lives.

Getting the right treatment requires getting the right diagnosis.

As part of the diagnosis process, you may be asked by your doctor to take various tests. Each of these procedures helps your doctor find out how your back pain has progressed. Dr. Ilalov’s discussion will focus on the rationale and indications for performing diagnostic testing in the evaluation of patients with low back pain and current treatment options.

This presentation is sponsored by Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point and will take place at Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point, Conference Center, 14000 Fivay Road, in Hudson, on Thursday, October 18 at 3:00PM.

This event is free to the public. Refreshments will be served. Due to limited seating, reservations are required, and can be made by calling (727) 869-5498 or 1-888-741-5119.
